I have a rice cooker and they're kinda overrated. Do I use it? Yes, but you can always boil water and make rice that way, or even microwaving rice with water can cook it.

Also rotisserie chicken lasts a long time when you break it apart, shred it and freeze it for future recipes. I love to make this Southwest Chicken Skillet from Budget Bytes. Its so filling and the family loves it, I add in sour cream and stir it in at the end.

    oh I disagree. boiling water in a pot and you have to watch it but the rice cooke is set it and forget it. Rice cooker is the most often used gadget for us followed by the slow cooker.

    Boil, rice in, lid on, low heat for 18 minutes, off for 8 minutes, lid off, fluff with fork. No watching. If you burn some, lower your “low”. If you’re getting crazy and making some basmati or rosematta you just look up how much time your new strain of rice needs. If you have an always-too-hot electric stove I’m sorry I lied; I’ve been there, and I would probably buy a rice cooker too.

    Yeah it never works out that way for me for whatever reason although we do currently have electric this was with gas too. Rice cooker is load it and turn on. 30 minutes later hot meal. Always, every time, no further intevention and if you forget it and don't come back for 45mins its in stay warm mode and is fine.
